Here is the headline and first few paragraphs:
Analyst: As few as 15,000 XOOMs sold; Motorola’s survival at risk

In his latest note to clients Global Equities’ Trip Chowdry “estimates that Motorola has sold somewhere between 15,000 and 120,000 Xoom tablets — hardly a propitious start for a company he perceives as being on the ropes,” Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune.
“The successful launch of the iPhone on Verizon, he writes, has ‘taken the wind’ out of Android’s sails,” P.E.D. reports. “The Google app store is ‘a disaster.’”
P.E.D. reports, “Honeycomb, the operating system on which Motorola has hitched its wagon, is ‘incomplete,’ ‘unstable,’ has a ‘poor UI’ and is basically ‘dead on arrival.’”

Since I didn't bother actually reading the article, I didn't realize that it was misleading, since the article that was actually pointed to said "25,000" not 15,000--"Analyst: 25,000 to 120,000 Xooms sold. Motorola Mobility's survival at risk".

But nevermind that--my main point was that there is a lot of pessimism surrounding MMI. |
